Creality Ender-3; entry-level 3D printer with a large construction area

The Creality Ender-3 is a semi-assembled printer kit with a construction volume of 220 * 220 * 250mm. It is slightly smaller than its bigger brother the Creality CR-10S. A solid 3D printer that is suitable for the novice user.

Fully equipped 3D printer for a low price

What is striking is the low price of the 3D printer. The Creality Ender-3 is of Chinese manufacture and despite its low price still very well equipped.

For example, the 3D printer has a heated heatbed that is provided with a printbed sticker. We recommend, however, to print on a LokBuild building surface. This often gives a better result and the prints are easier to remove from the heatbed. Although the Creality Ender-3 has been specially developed for printing with PLA filament, the presence of the heatbed makes it possible to experiment with different materials. The print bed can easily be adjusted with the aid of the set screws.

The Creality Ender-3 is also equipped with a resume function. This makes it possible to easily resume the print when, for example, the voltage is accidentally lost.

Compact and very stable; the new Creality Ender-3

Because of the compact design and the rigid frame with aluminum conductors, this 3D printer is very stable. The filament is imported directly and simply into the bowden extruder.

The control box is mounted on the right side of the frame of the Creality Ender-3. This makes it a more compact 3D printer compared to the Creality CR-10S. The 3D printer can easily be adjusted with the aid of the LCD screen and the rotary knob.

As mentioned, the Creality Ender-3 is delivered semi-assembled. This makes the 3D printer very compact with accompanying accessories. Assembling this compact 3D printer is easy to do in the 12 steps described.
